Tonsil update

Jakey is home and doing well. He enjoyed every part of the pre-op: wagon ride, stuffed animals, movie and getting to blow up the green "balloon" for the anesethia. But waking up was another story and took about 3 hours. He was pretty sad yesterday, but had a good night. He is managing today with head nods/shakes and whispers. He is still having a hard time swallowing and tends to let the drool roll. He seems more alert and is eating otter pops, and drinking some juice. I think we can start the ice cream tomorrow.

I have chalked yesterday up to "one of the hardest Mommy days of my life". But I made it through, whew.

thanks to everyone for more happy thoughts and Mom and Dad for helping. Emily and Morgan were sure wore out after hanging with the g-parents.

g-parents, huh? Can I start saying, "What up, G?" to Dad?

Glad Jakey's doing ok. Max was ready to go to the "duck-ter" for him.
